Em relação ao domínio de conhecimento dos enfermeiros que atuam em unidades de terapia intensiva e emergência, quanto à identificação de Parada Cardiorrespiratória (PCR) e manobras de Ressuscitação Cardiopulmonar (RCP) mais indicadas pelas diretrizes da AHA[5], mesmo com a maior parte das Portuguese questões tendo sido respondidas corretamente, evidenciam-se a necessidade de novos treinamentos e capacitações quanto aos assuntos abordados
Percebeu-se, quanto ao reconhecimento da PCR, que há domínio do assunto em questão, visto que a sequência de procedimentos de suporte básico de vida (SBV), a ênfase que deve ser considerada no primeiro atendimento à RCP e a visualização dos traçados elétricos cardíacos no monitor apresentaram 100% de acertos
